2 In testing the speed of horses, each
animal three years old and over is to &c
to wagon or harness. In making the
awards in this class, the general good
qualities, such as breeding, style, action,
constitution and enduring properties, as
! well as the speed of the animal, are to be
taken into consideration.
3. Exhibitors of horses are required to
put their names, and the names of their
horses, over the doors of the stalls they
occupy, in letters not less than three
inches long. Also to keep the doors of
their stalls open from to IL, and from 2
to each day. Noncompliance with this
rule will forfeit all claim for premiums.
4. AS horses possessing no merit
whatever, and not worthy of exhibition,
have in some cases been entered merely
in order to secure stabling at the expense
of the Society, the Superintendent of this
department is empowered when any cases
OF this kind are reported, to order the
animals, so entered, off the grounds.
5. Exhibitors in this department will
be charged an entrance fee of 10 per cent
of the aggregate amount of premium
offered in the class in which entry is made
and the same must accompany the entry.
Exhibitors whose entry fees in the horse
department amount to three dollars or
over, will be entitled to an exhibitors
season ticket, admitting to Park and
Halls. In case the entry fee in this de-
partment amounts to less than three dol
lars, the exhibitor will be entitled to the
season ticket provided the difference be-
tween the amount of entry fee and three
dollars is paid.

NEW YORK, March 23.-The trial Of ex-
Aid. Cleary was resumed before Judge Bar
rett yesterday. The sensational attack made
by Lawyer Ira Shafer on the newspapers in
his speech, and more particularly his viru-
lent abuse of Joseph Pulitzer of the World,
has added new interest in the hearing, and
when business was resumed the court room
was crowded. Shater was the great curiosity,
and was "sized up" thoroughly by the
audience. Whether or not he would chal-
lenge the valiant editor of the World to NOR
tai combat-whether or not the testy Joseph
could not knock him out as easily as he
knocked out Joe Howard, were questions that
the audience gossiped about and speculated
upon. 1t is generally admitted that Skaters
violence has irreparably damaged his clients
case, and the general impression now appears
to be that nothing can save Cieary from a

A MISCREANTS BULLET.
GEORGE s. BAILEY. THE LABOR
REPRESENTATIVES, SHOT AT.
A Dastardly Attempt to Assassinato the
East st. Louis Member Fails-Hla
Life Saved by Pocket-BOok

SPRINGFIELD, H., March 24--Gecrge s.
Bailey, the United Labor Representative
from East St. Louis, when entering Mrs
Elders boarding house, ten minutes before
3 o'clock Tuesday night, where he resides
with his wife and two children, was shot at
by some party unknown. The bullet struck
him on the left breast about two inches below
the heart, passed through his overcoat,
through the pocket OF his coat and all its con-
cents, viz: two thick pocket-books, several
letters, and lodged in his vest, making q deep
indenture in the flesh without drawing blood
The bullet was from 32-callibre Smith &
WeSSon, and was exhibited TO the press cor
respondents in n battered, twisted shape
The shock knocked him over and
the would-oe assassin was so close
that the flash of the revolver blinded him TO
the extent that he could not distinguish
even the form Of his asSailant, who. seeing
the object Of his hate or revenge fall back
from the stoop as If dead, fled in the belief
that he had fully accomplished his murder
Gus designs. His wife, who was in the front
room, on the ground floor of the house. and
not more than fifteen feet from the spot
where he fell, rushed out with several others,
assisted him to his feet, and helped him into
the house. He Immediately cried out "rm
shot, and placed his hand over what he sup
posed to be the wound On reaching the
room and disrobing, he discovered, much TO
the relief of all concerned, that he was moro
scared than hurt. Two theories were mem
toned as to the cause Of the assault The
first is the action taken by Mr. Bailey in get
ting up a resolution signed by himself and
Mr.. KarlowslIi, condemning In severe
terms Messrs. Rohrback and Burke, Of Cook,
for acting rs pall-bearers at the funeral OF
Mrs. Neebe, in Chicago. Many expressed
the belief that live dynanliter from Chi
cago had come down to wreak vengence up
on the man that had ventured to condemn
the sympaties shown for anarchy on the oc-
casion of Mrs. Neebe's funeral, but others
held that the assault had grown out OF an
old East st. Louis score connected with the
strike troubles there last summer, In
which Mr.. Bailey took an active part. Il
will be remembered that OH the 10th
of July last he was shot at through
the window of his residence in East
st. Louis while lying on a pallet. The bullet
lodged in the bedclothes and he escaped with
out injury. The cause of this attempt to
take his life has never been fully understood,
and many express the belief that this Is re-
newal of that assault. Mr.. Bailey himself
disclaims any idea that the trouble comes
from his attitude toward the Chicago An
archists, but is at loss to give any reasona-
BILE ground for such an attempt, aside from
that. No arrests have yet been made.

w,rth,s DTvsterious Disappearance.

CHICAGO, March pa wild eyed, excited
man entered the Twenty-Second street sta
ton last night, gave his name of Kuebler,
and made a statement to the effect that
Frederick Wirth, who has been missing for
two weeks past, would never be found unless
his advice was taken. "Wirth's body" said
he, ais in the river, and the reason it does
not come to the surface is because it is tied
and weighted down to one of the piers OF the
red bridge near Archer bridge. Before he
could say more his brother Hermann and q
man thought to be Nichols came into the
station and took him away. The officers be-
leve Jacob Kuebler to be crazy, but as there
might be something i'll his talk several officers
were detailed to drag the river at the point
mentioned. After several hours work body
was found but it was not that of Wirth.
